Celebrate Spring With This Giant Crepe Flower Craft

Give a friend a flower she doesn't have to water! These crepe paper flowers are perfect decorations and provide lots of fun as props in photos.

To make these gorgeous crepe paper flowers, you will need:

A dowel (chopstick, paintbrush, or pencil)

Crepe paper

Green duct tape or floral tape

Hot glue gun

If you've never worked with crepe paper before, aside from stringing up strands of it at birthday parties, it is important to note that cutting your flower petals in a certain way does matter. Make sure that the striations in the paper are going vertically, not horizontally.
